My Quarantina by Joel David Weir

In the spring of 2020, Indiana based singer-songwriter Joel David Weir was supposed to travel to Europe for the first time. But COVID happened. Instead of traveling he made a record. Recorded from distance with band members Matt Cunningham (drums) and Paul Myhre (bass) the music took a different direction from Weir’s previous Americana/indie-folk leaning records. Weir says he tried to imagine what it will be like when he and his band can finally play live again and thought - people are gonna wanna rock.. and dance. Drawing from his childhood formation of listening to 45s of New Wave legends like Devo and Talking Heads, and focusing on minimal, raw structure with experimental arrangement, the sound that became My Quarantina was born.
